Hey John, it’s
Tre.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about where this fight started for me, and
why I’m still in it.

In 2005, my cousin Vincent Avant was shot and killed while sitting in a
car just a few blocks from his home. The very next year, my brother
Terrell Bosley was murdered while unloading band equipment at church.

I’ve found myself in too many church pews mourning loved ones we lost too
soon. But that’s exactly why I keep going. I do this work to honor Vincent
and Terrell, and to make sure fewer families have to live through what
mine did.

Over the years, I’ve realized how critical it is that we build support
systems that reach young people before violence does.

Community violence intervention programs (CVIs) do just that. They focus
on stopping violence before it starts by supporting the people and places
most impacted.

Here in Chicago, I work with The B.R.A.V.E. Youth Leaders and St. Sabina,
a church on the South Side that’s been leading this work for years.
Through their CVI programs, they help young people process trauma, build
conflict resolution skills, and grow into leaders in their communities.

March For Our Lives is fighting to fund and expand programs like this
across the country. [ [link removed] ]If you believe in this work, I hope you’ll pitch in

Gun violence can feel like something too big to stop, but it’s not. CVI
programs show us that real solutions already exist. That healing is
possible. That change is within reach.

That’s the future I believe in. A future where every young person has the
chance to live, lead, and thrive. And I’m grateful to be building it
alongside you.
